It was a Jack solo episode this week, and let's just say… it wasn't his favorite. The pick was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but it veered into parody territory, tweaking the original tale to fit the writer's vision. For Jack, though, it just didn't hit the mark. The story felt bland—like it was thrown together without a strong, cohesive narrative. Definitely one he wouldn't revisit.

This Week's Anime: "Love Tyrant" This week's episode comes from a recommendation by Goose in our Discord community. "Love Tyrant" (Renai Bōkun) was an interesting choice, to say the least. This anime pokes fun at other anime tropes, and while it follows the standard harem style, it's packed with comedy, making it an easy and enjoyable watch. If you're looking for something light and funny without a deep storyline, this is a perfect pick for a quick break from your usual anime lineup.
